Reviews for Dou Zhai Coffee & Roastery

Elegantly sweet, spice-toned. Bergamot, plum, cashew, cocoa nib, lilac in aroma and cup. Sweetly tart with vibrant acidity; very silky, viscous mouthfeel. The cocoa-toned finish has undertones of bergamot and plum.

Crisply sweet, rich-toned. Cocoa nib, dried apricot, narcissus, hazelnut, maple syrup in aroma and cup. Brightly sweet structure with juicy acidity; crisp, satiny mouthfeel. The finish centers around notes of cocoa-toned apricot.

Richly sweet-tart, vibrantly aromatic. Tangerine, dried mulberry, dark chocolate, hazelnut, bay leaf in aroma and cup. Juicy-bright acidity; full, syrupy-smooth mouthfeel. Resonant, flavor-saturated finish that carries over all the aroma and flavor notes from the cup.

Delicately floral, richly sweet. Narcissus, cocoa nib, lemon verbena, red apple, cedar in aroma and cup. Briskly sweet acidity; velvety mouthfeel. Long, resonant, lingering finish centered around notes of narcissus and cocoa nib with lemon verbena undertones.

Unorthodox but coherent and compelling. Pungent rose, fresh fennel frond, ripe cantaloupe, walnut, marshmallow in aroma and cup. Roundly sweet-savory in structure, with an impressively smooth, plush mouthfeel. Rose-like flowers prevail in a deeply rich finish.

Very sweet, floral, deeply rich. Date, tangerine zest, fresh pipe tobacco, freesia-like flowers, dark chocolate in aroma and cup. Complex and deeply rich structure; roundly tart acidity. Full, syrupy mouthfeel. The finish is dry but rings with rich tobacco and unsweetened chocolate far into the long.
